Chocolate Dipped Strawberries

1 Wash and dry the strawberries, making sure the berries are fully dry as water will cause chocolate to seize up.2 Melt the white chocolate in a double boiler or microwave. Follow the melting directions on the package. 3 Dip the strawberry in the white chocolate, holding onto the stem or the "shoulders" of the strawberry. Give it a quick little twist and shake with your fingers to shake off the excess and then point it at the ceiling for a second or two to ensure that the chocolate adheres.

Place on a piece of wax paper to let dry. 4 Melt the dark chocolate according to the instructions on the package. Dip the strawberry in at a 45 degree angle from both sides to make the "jacket".

Let the excess drip off.
